about
Who chooses what gets written by the press?
Can we trust them?
Can we trust them?
lyrics
They say there's a handful of people controlling western media
So.. free speech is no longer a privilege- it's a business
Selling news is arguably more important now than sharing news
Nah, really?
‘Clear the cover, Stop the Press!’
Headlines written on pay checks
Paid opinions on Page 4
Have you ever wanted more?
[Stop the press x5
Give the fear mongering a rest]
Let me tell you a story
Two billionaires own over 50% of the British press
Both don't live in Britain but between them they own the three most read newspapers
One was quoted as stating, “If you want to know my opinion on a subject, read the editorial in the newspaper I own”.
16 million people read his papers.
That's a lot of responsibility for one man.
‘Clear the cover, Stop the Press!’
Headlines written on pay checks
Paid opinions on Page 4
Have you ever wanted more?
[Stop the press x5
Give the fear mongering a rest]
And whether we like it or not,
We all write or think through our own filters,
Dependent on our backgrounds, our life experiences and the opinions of our parents
And we all know
The stories that sell, aren't always stories that tell
Both sides of the stories accurately well are they?
